When there is time, I'll connect a terminal 
emulator with a cross-over serial cable, collect 
the startup information and try to get a scsi 
drive detected.  Evenually will report back.

Seems possible for the person or team 
creating the release files to have a list of 
volunteers who can perform tests on various 
hardware.  Releasing broken software will 
jeopardize the reputation of NetBSD.
